Recipe Radar

Recipe Radar assists players in finding recipes. It knows about vendors who sell recipes in the current region or by profession. It has a number of filtering options and can even locate vendors on the world map.

Tips:

There are two "tabs": the main "radar" tab and one that searches by profession!

You can bind a key to Recipe Radar through the main menu!

There are lots of filtering options - use the dropdowns to customize Recipe Radar!

Some internal maps are inaccurate at this time, it is currently a work in progress to fix these up.

looks like 1.6 now runs fine on deDE
only thing not working I noticed so far are the list icons in radar mode. This was broken before, too. I'll have a look if I can find a fix

/€dit: ok, you are assigning icons by name using the skills name. But you only have icons for the English names
Maybe you should convert all the internal stuff to language independent strings and than map these to the correct language whne they are output in any way.

Okay, Elkano - I've tried to fix up the German translation a bit according to your suggestions. One thing I didn't change was the capitalization on 'wandernder' and 'saisonaler', as I wanted these to be in title case. Also, it would be inconsistent to capitalize 'Quest' in this case too, I think, as it's being used as an adjective rather than a noun.

I also added a couple of new strings: "Collapse All" and "Expand All". Let me know if the German versions suck!

Thank you, by the way, for finding that bug - I've used your idea to hopefully resolve this confusion once and for all.

WRT the filter bug: it's still present I'll try to look over the code, maybe I'm able to find sth.

€dit: could it be that the bug is related to nonlocalized prefession names used in some places and localized in others? eg RecipeRadar_Options.CurrentProfession is initialized to "Cooking" instead of RRS["Cooking"].

€dit²: ok, maybe I'm on the right way. in the data tables, your recipes type isn't localized. I'll check if that's what causing the filters not to work on non en clients.

€dit³: I was right localizing these seems to fix most of the filter bugs.

Yeah, sorry Elkano, I had to try and integrate your deDE translation with another from DJMars on Curse. I was afraid I would end up screwing up both! I did put your most recent suggestions in v1.5, though. If there are other obvious errors, do let me know!

* On filtering

In v1.5 I've tried some new things with regard to filtering that I hope will fix your problem again. Despite my best efforts, I wasn't able to nail down why it was happening to you, so I can't be sure. I took your excellent suggestion to add a specific filter for nonapplicable professions, and I'll hold your other suggestions for future versions. Please let me know if any problems remain.

* On the ReagentCost error

Well, I can't reproduce this bug, and on looking at the RC code I can't imagine a) how this could be related to the RR minimap mouseover, and b) how it could have happened at all. Perhaps, fred, you could supply a little more info? Like which trade skill windows you had open, which region you were in, which vendors you had mapped? Anything you can think of, really - also can you reproduce the bug?

standing in Stormwind, I have only teo recipes that are green to me: the two X-mas recipes.
so having all three filters (available, unavailable, known) aktive shows me the correct list.
But disableing 'available' doesn't hide the two recipes and disableing known hides all.
Also if I click on the X-mas recipe to have the vendor shown on the map and than hover over him it sais "2 recipes (0 usable)". So it looks like it does asign the correct color but not the correct categorie for filtering.
Same holds for eg engeneering. Correct colors for the skill levels but filters don't work: known filters all, the others don't work.

some suggestions:
- could you add a filter for unlearnable professions to the three in place and color their recipes different from known? (color them eg yellow)
- maybe you should only cache missing tooltips on click instead of mouse over
- when an item is unknown, you show a tooltip telling so. why not show it's tooltip in that place if it's known, too?

/€dit: for some reason the Umlaute seem to work without encoding them... maybe blizzard 'fixed' that finaly (or my editor that also converts them...) anyways there are still some changed strings in the localization I posted earlier that fit better than those currently in place

Wow, thank you very much, Elkano. I've integrated your translation into v1.4. As for your filtering bug, it *may* be fixed in v1.4, but I'm not sure I was able to address your particular problem. Can you provide any further info if the bug persists in the new version? Specifically, things like: which profession, which recipes, which filters, etc. Any patterns you can see would also be helpful.

I didn't change location or vendor names (exept that I fixed the 'Umlaute') but the rest should be better than before

But I also got a bug report wrt filtering: It looks like there are some problems wrt filtering known, available and unavailable recipes. The required skill level is colored correctly but the filters don't work as they should. eg turning of 'known' also hides those that could be learned for me :/
I didn't check the code on that, yet but I hpe you can fix it (takes some time to get through new code ^^' )
